The boy of summer are back!

Play ball!

Organized baseball started in Hoboken, and Hoboken’s Maria Pepe was the center of a national battle in 1972 to let girls play in Little League, so obviously baseball is big here.
Hundreds of kids recently came out swinging to start the new season. Check out our photo of Little League festivities and games, and look elsewhere in the paper this week for the first in what we hope will be an ongoing series of weekly scores.
